Changing the 'Denkstil'--A Case Study in the History of Molecular Genetics.
Ohly, Karl Peter
Science and Education, v11 n2 p155-67 Mar 2002
Discusses interactions between experimental systems and modes of interpretation. Uses the discovery of the 'base pairing principle' by Erwin Chargaff as an example to show how established laboratory routines and their development interact with the underlying theoretical framework and the 'Denkstil' (style of thought) of a collective of researchers as it can be reconstructed from their publications.
